isit Portugal.

Pet musical instruments.

Learn about St. Anthony.

Travel back in time 400 years.

Get intimate with William Shakespeare and Amadeus Mozart.

Run in the dunes.

Eat risotto, slurp up oysters, quaff martinis, sip wine, taste chili, and drink strawberry beer.

Partake in these adventures, and more, as summer comes knocking in 2011.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that we, as a county, have a lot going on.

Summer brings out the event planner in everyone.

This time of year evokes emotion and nostalgia, like certain holidays or birthdays.

Remember running through your dad’s oscillating sprinkler as a kid, or barbecuing late into the evening in their backyard with friends and family? Whole

days were scheduled around these very things.

Sprawled on a blanket gazing up at the stars, I seem to remember a lot of weekend trips involving lakes, boats, and inner tubes. A Slip ‘n Slide made a yearly appearance.

Now-a-days, summer activities are more sophisticated, offering so much for all sorts of folks, yet they’re just as lovely.

And what about all those camps, found in the second half of this guide?

Summer is really about the kids and filling their days.

Do your kids want to surf, ride horses, learn French, or become a rock star?

It’s all there for the taking.

I’ll tell you another little secret. Your local library is a gold mine.

There are 14 locations all over the county, and each one has more going on than the next: summer reading programs, movies, and tons of free, live entertainment with some of the best performers our local culture has to offer.

Another interesting aspect of summer activities in SLO County is the local colleges and organizations that will astound with you with all they have to offer.

Cuesta College gets into the spirit of summer, offering an extensive summer program for kids.

And what about the adults? Driving up and down the Central Coast, you’ll be hard pressed to not come across

a weekly concert series in any given town, in any given park, at the beach, or at a winery. They’re listed here for your convenience.

There’s so much to do in fact, I couldn’t list it all in the guide, so please, if you have any questions or are in search of something fantastic to fill your summer days, e-mail me at calendar@newtimesslo.com or call me at 546-8208.

I’m always here to help a reader plan a weekend, week, or entire summer.

Don’t forget to check New Times’ online Calendar for even more goings-on. It’s updated daily at newtimesslo. com (click on “Community Calendar” on the left side of the home page).

And I know what you’re thinking. All over the Central Coast?

But I don’t wanna drive! Gas prices! Funyun prices!

I feel you.

Remember, as of this printing, it’s still “Bike Month” for the next 11 days. OK, that’s lame. I proclaim Bike Month is all summer, so get out of your gas-guzzling car, and get on your beach cruiser. Don’t forget the blanket and friends. And these rules: Choose life. Choose fun. Choose summer. Δ Contact Calendar Editor Christy Heron at cheron@ newtimesslo.com.
